Description
By Vincent T JoachimWebsite: [link]
In March 1999, gas prices doubled in Ecuador and mass protest erupted throughout the country as a result. The citizens employed a successful protest technique by digging trenches in the road and lighting tires on fire. It brought the countries economy to a standstill and the govenment was forced to compromise.
This scene shows street kids in the middle of the chaos.

hi
I represent a CSR-related non profit organization. We would love to use this photograph on our website, and would like to have your permission.
The photograph would not be used for any commercial purposes, as our organization only connects community workers and is run by voluntary workers as well.

Why it took 6 years for this shot to get any sort of recognition astounds me.
But, it has it now, and it is one great shot. : )

It looks a bit like a barrier too between the grown ups on the one side and the children on the other side
whatever we do wrong, children are always the once suffering... it is a shame how little most people seem to care...

What a sharp contrast to what is going on in that country at that time and the chaos that is erupting around them. Amazing!

That's a really disturbing fact, that children were in the way of this.

Very touching. Brought tears to my eyes. I have 3 children and I can't imagine how it must feel as a parent to see your kids going through that. The child on the left even looks like my son.
Thanks for this amazing capture.

This made me want to be there for the kids... hug them, say it's going to be alright... I felt sad that I couldn't do that. It hurts that I just have to sit back and look at this picture, know I cannot do anything for anyone in the scene.
It is a very good picture.
